I just bought a 2011 tige with tige touch. I am a little disappointed in the gauges when the key is in the acc position. The battery volts read 1 volt and the depth finder doesn't read. This means you have to turn the key to the on position just to read the depth or see if your battery volts are ok. Then when you turn the key on the stupid blower kicks on for for minutes unless you go to the screen that will allow you to turn the blower off. Is this just my boat or do all the tige touches do this. This is what happen to me this weekend. I tied up to another boat and was playing the radio. went to check voltage and it display 1 so I turned the key on and it was at 12 volts. so we floated some more and then we were getting close to the damn and went to see depth and noticed it wouldn't diaply unless the key was on.

Sounds like ours. I don't know that there's a way around it though. -
Same here. The blower is annoying, especially since turning the key off doesn't turn the blower off. You have to manually turn if off. I've had it do the same with the lights where I've turned the key on, turned the lights on and they stayed on once I turned the key off.
Do the engine hours accrue with the key in the On position? It seems like I remember hearing that it does.Comment

I agree with the annoyance of this. Have any of u had it lock up while surfing? Nothing like being pulled at 20mph on a surf board cause the drive don't notice! Then having to cycle the system to get it working again. Maybe there is an update?www.1320diesel.com Home of the Fastest Diesels!

The blower and everything turns off when turning the battery's off. So if done for the day and lights or blower are accidentally left on just then the battery off and it's good to go.Comment

maybe they should make it open source code so guys like me can re-program and provide updatesOriginally posted by Wickedcummins View Post

the blower thing is annoying. I wonder if it saves battery life not running the depth finder. (a change to this would be awesome though)
I don't mind the lights thing. I just turn off the boat pull the key, clean up a min more and by the time I get in the truck to leave etc.. they turn off soon after.2010 Tige RZ2 "Fully Loaded" 650hrs

I always turn the key to the on position when we are at the beach. I hope the hour meter doesnt continue to run!!?? Last year i remember watching for the hour meter to change while sitting with the key on, and it did not, but i would like to know for sure? Anybody know for sure?Comment

The hour meter should only increment when the engine itself is running. In the new Canbus based systems, the PCM ECM will send feedback that the engine is running. It's not based on a simple timer as to when the key is turned to ON...Originally posted by What she said View PostComment

The First thing I did to my boat when it came in is pulled the fuse out for the blower!Comment

Nick you voided the warranty. LOLComment

I have suggested this in the past, but apparently Tige and Medallion don't think it's as good an idea as we do.Originally posted by CountryDMan View Postmaybe they should make it open source code so guys like me can re-program and provide updates
I would think retired versions/products could be released. Might relieve them of support calls and benefit owners too. Just a thought.Comment
